Teen With Way Too Much Body Hair For Age. Posted: 02-25-07 14:37pm
I am a considerably young teen. I feel
that I have WAY too much body hair for my
age and not enough muscle. For my
muscular problems, I workout consistently
which only helps a little bit. But, for
the body hair, even shaving would be huge
waste of time and take forever (plus it
would grow back). I NEED HELP.

Hey, dude. I'm on the same boat as you.
My parents say there's nothing wrong with
a bit of a hairy chest.
I have furry chest, a hairy stomach, and
a back that looks like that of a
domesticated cat.
(For everyone else's sake, I'm not going
to go into any detail on where else I'm
growing body hair...)
Anywho, it realy sucks hardcore for me not
only becuase having a lot of body
hair..and I don't mean a bit of it here
and there i mean freakin' fur...is
bad..but becasue i have a genetic
predisoposition to baldness.. I'm not
showing any signs of goin' bald...that's
gonna happen down the road, but having a
really hairy body and a head with none on
it isn't going to be too much of a
confidence booster, if you get my drift..
-_-
Anyways, here's some advice from a fellow
"werewolf" :
Firstly: Not everyone doesn't like hair on
the body. Sometimes it can be seen as a
sign of manliness, and virility...
and.
some areas aren't that much of a
hinderance to shave.
The stomach for instance.
Take a good razor and a handful of shaving
cream and swipe with vertical motions up
and down the length of the abdomen. Don't
go any lower (shaving anything below about
an inch under the navel will produce a
demonc ITCH..[I'll leave it to the
imagination why])
And don't go any higher than below the
pectoral muscles. A man attempting to
shave his chest is an exercise that also
results in torturous itching.
you can take a shot at your shoulders and
perhaps even some of the back, if you're
really flexible....But the legs..
Dont' shave your legs. Seriously. There's
nothing less socially acceptable in
society than a man shaving his legs. I
wouldn't have any problem with it but
other people...let's just say men shaving
their legs isn't widely practiced for good
reasons. the conventions of society.
Anyway, like you said, shaving is a pain.
There are other options.
there's a "laser hairloss' clinic.
...Usually you can find them in most towns
or big cities nearby. I'm not sure what
they involve, but they're pretty
effective...and painful.
Then there are waxing clinics. (for women
I thinnk, but if you're really
desperate..)
And then there's electrolysis.
Yeah like the name sounds, it's not a
painless process.
This is where they take a little
electrode, stick it under the skin where
you wnat to get rid of the hair, and then
shock the follicles under the skin, until
they become paralyzed and the hair falls
out.
Electrolysis is the most effective,
painful, and expensive way to get rid of
hair.
What i'd do if I were you is resort to the
latter.
Electrolysis.
It's painful, but worth it.
(Painful both physically and
finiancially)
You said you were a young teenager...That
means you don't need to pay for anything
else, right?
I'd be going for electrolyisis, but I'm in
university and I don't have a darn penny
to spare.
So if I were you, I'd save up some
money,perhaps get a part time job and go
ahead with the eletrolysis.
good luck, hope this has been some help
